Father's Day craft for children at Miller-Cory House Museum in Westfield

Visit the Miller-Cory House Museum on June 8, from 2-4 p.m., to celebrate all of the contributions that fathers and father-figures make in children’s lives. The program will include making a festive craft for a special person, as well as storytelling.

Docents will also be available to conduct tours of the restored, colonial era farmhouse. In the museum’s Frazee Building, members of the cooking committee will prepare dishes over the open-hearth fire using authentic colonial methods and seasonal ingredients.

The gift shop, containing a variety of early American toys, crafts, books and educational materials, will be open.

Admission is $3 for adults and children 13 and older, $2 for children ages 3 to 12 and free under age 3. The museum is located at 614 Mountain Ave. in Westfield.

This will be the final program of the season; the museum will be closed for the summer and will reopen in mid-September. The office will be open, however; school/scout tours or other special programs may be scheduled for the fall. The museum will also be holding training classes over the summer for individuals interested in becoming a volunteer.

There are many opportunities to match all sorts of interests, including giving tours, cooking over the open hearth, helping with craft programs, gardening, and others. Full training is provided, and there is no minimum requirement of hours
